The old saying is that records are meant to be broken.
The athletes on the Buhler High School girls and boys track teams have been shattered seven school records with about three weeks left in the season.

The nine-team Salina Central meet will take place at the Salina USD 305 District Stadium.
The Shawnee Mission North Relays, which features 50 schools from Kansas and Missouri, will take place at the Shawnee Mission North District Stadium.
